BAYarts and the Lake Erie Nature & Science Center, which share the Cleveland Metroparks’ Huntington Reservation, are collaborating on a new program in early childhood education.

The Mini Arts & Nature Academy will hold an open house from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 6.

“The Mini Arts & Nature Academy is a great opportunity for parents of preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 6 to enroll their child in a program that is both fun and integrates with Ohio’s Early Learning and Development Standards,” said Teece Lester, who is organizing the preschool programs. “We have a unique opportunity to develop a love of learning by offering a truly play-based, multi-sensory, hands-on curriculum incorporating just about everything young children love — animals, art, dance, music, outdoor explorations, science experiments and the stars — in a format that helps families make the most of their time and budget.”

Families can choose from a menu of age and interest-based offerings and develop a schedule for their child.
